The
Book of Naseeb
tells the story of
an idealistic heroin dealer who dreams of fitting the victims of war
in Afghanistan with artificial limbs. In
this breathtaking first novel, Khaled Nurul Hakim chronicles the
hero's struggle for redemption through the backstreets and motorway
service stations of modern Britain to the desert and mountains of a
fictional borderland. Written in an exhilarating, incantatory blend
of street argot and Quranic-inspired language, The
Book of Naseeb
charts an epic journey like no other.
‘A
completely absorbing, singular book. Night journey, border odyssey,
angel’s-eye view of human striving.’ YASMINE SEALE
